Is there a way to manage the CSS for a Sencha Touch app outside of the framework?
I'm used to working with CodeKit or Grunt to manage dependencies for websites, but with Sencha Touch everything seems to be done within the framework. I'm assuming that as long as everything gets compiled to the resources/css folder then it will be fine. But what about the framework resources? Do they get compiled to the same place or does the app make a separate request for them?
I have no idea of CodeKit or Grunt. Anyways in Sencha Touch all the CSS files get placed to the resources/css folder after the compilation. It's the same even when we add custom CSS files or use SASS with Compass compiler.
I use codekit too.
This is my solution: CodeKit -> Preferences -> (the left side bar) OTHER TOOLS -> Compass
Then select Use the compass executable at this path and choose the path you install compass

I have created a sass project but I don't know how to deploy it before I deploy some other project into Heroku but in cases of sass I am so confused how to deploy it on production?
sass compiled at the end into CSS so could deploy directly HTML ,CSS and JavaScript part???
If we deploy sass into production so what will the build pack for sass?
I have no idea about it please help me for this.
The Sass file has to be compiled into a CSS file because browsers only recognize CSS for styling. If you're using VSCode, simply install the Sass compiler extension, click 'Watch Sass' and it will compile your Sass file into CSS every time there is a change made. Make sure to link the CSS file to the HTML file.
I'm dealing with an ASP.net project that's maintained by a couple of people via git.
We're looking to minify the CSS files at build time and have checked out the bundle and minify addon however this doesn't appear to offer an option for the minified code to be regenerated from the source files at each build.
Is there a better way for us to minify our source css files on each build?
Understanding your question right, you want to concat and minify your css sources and time you build or deploy.
I do not now how your build stack look like, so I can guess only, but using css files I would use something like grunt or gulp.
On my self I prefer gulp. It is easy to create a task which concat, minify or also auto prefix your css files.
Once your task is created you can add it to your build script, task or bash.
This way works also fine with CI like wercker or travis.
You can use Microsoft Ajax Minifier after build.
Explained here: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/182690/Minify-Javascript-and-CSS-using-Microsoft-Ajax-Min
Or if you have integration with Jenkins then after build step you can call bat file and run minification on folder of your build directory.
For multiple technology projects, You can create exe based on Microsoft Ajax Minifier and after all builds are done, Run this exe using bat command from Jenking only to minify all the css and js files.
I have integrated this with PHP, ASP.Net and Silverlight code after build of these projects.
One better way is to make your file to online file (like CDN link github can help you in that) and next rather then adding all those css add that link which will be saving much of the build time.
Try to minify your file.

So I'm playing around with MVC6, and I've added bower.json & grunt.json, I've created my grunt tasks for generating my jQuery & bootstrap.css and its all sitting in the wwwroot folder as i expected.
But what about things like my site.css & my main.js files, the files that I will add to for the project over time.
What convention are people using when choosing a directory for this stuff?
Are we to add a Content folder and drop it in?
Is there something I'm missing, that i should also be using Grunt / bower for?
I do have app and vendor folders outside wwwroot.
In vendor, I customize libraries like bootstrap, themes.
In app I have my own css, less and js files for the application.
I also have an asset path inside app for anything that needs to be copied (folder font shown in the screenshot)
Then I use the opinionated really easy to use and way better than grunt or gulp tool: brunch.
With this simple config, I get sourcemaps, concat, jshint, and with --production also uglify, minify, csso.
Adding anything else to the pipeline is simple as installing a brunch-plugin, so I recommend to also check http://brunch.io/ out.
Any static files (.css, .js) should be added directly into the wwwroot path (e.g. wwwroot/scripts, wwwroot/css). Anything that will be compiled into static files (.ts, .less) should be put into an Assets directory (or whatever name you like) in your project and output into the wwwroot path during compilation (generally configured through grunt compilation tasks).
I am working on a rails app and I would like to include some custom css files inside my rails application. I would like to separate out the css from bootstrap and the css that I wrote. Could I just put the custom css files inside vendor/assets/bower_components folder in my own css folder?
Is there anything else that I need to do for my css files to be picked up?
There are several ways you can achieve bower functionality in a Rails application.
Although having said that, I'm not sure about your wanting to use it on your custom.css file. The file itself will work just as well if you keep it in your app/assets/stylesheets folder, which will concatenate it to the asset pipeline
Bower-Rails
You'll may wish to consider using bower-rails, which seems to just give you the ability to use bower within your Rails app. This seems to be specifically for helping you keep your dependencies up to date:
Dependency file is bower.json in Rails root dir or Bowerfile if you
use DSL. Check out changelog for the latest changes and releases.
RailsAssets
Another amazing piece of functionality we found recently is "RailsAssets"
This works really well (we use it in production), as it keeps your dependent assets completely up to date. You can use it very simply:
#Gemfile
source https://rails-assets.org
gem 'rails-assets-BOWER_PACKAGE_NAME'
#app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require BOWER_PACKAGE_NAME
When running bundle update, this will then give you the ability to update your assets in line with your app!
I'm using SquishIt and have a .less file which I add to a CSS bundle with the following line
.Add("~/content/styles/dev.less")
This compiles as dev.less.debug.css when I build the solution, however I'd like to be able to just save the .less file and it automatically compiles the css (so I see the change instantly in my browser as I would with a traditional CSS file).
I have looked at a number of extensions to achieve this (such as LessExtension and LessCssForVisualStudio) but these require the file to be added to the bundle as dev.css rather than dev.less. Mindscape Web Workbench does not compile LESS files in its free version so I do not know if it also requires dev.css.
I can't change the link to the file as the project will be worked on across teams, where some won't install an extension and will be happy to build the solution to compile.
Is there and extension that automatically compiles LESS that is built to work with SquishIt?
If you use it on non-production site, I would suggest using less.js (It will render css with js on client-side).
Squishit uses dotless under the hood, so you could use that directly.. either set it up so that you request the less file and a handler returns CSS or you can use the exe to compile on build and also the watch mode... I'm not sure what's best for you, but you can find more information on the dotless wiki (https://github.com/dotless/dotless/wiki/Using-.less)
